“…Constraints (22) ensure that the stock at the end of a location visit equals the stock at the start of the visit, adjusted for the amount of feed produced or consumed, and the amount (un)loaded during the visit. The end stock variables s E im are included to facilitate the readability.…”

“…Therefore, MIRPs have attracted considerable attention during the last fifteen years. The research and resulting publications have formed the basis of several surveys: Papageorgiou et al [22], Christiansen et al [11], and Christiansen and Fagerholt [9], [10]. In addition, Coelho et al [12] and Andersson et al [6] have been surveying both land-based and maritime inventory routing problems.…”

Combined ship routing and inventory management in the salmon farming industry

et al. 2016

We consider a maritime inventory routing problem for Norway's largest salmon farmer both producing the feed at a production factory and being responsible for fish farms located along the Norwegian coast. The company has bought two new ships to transport the feed from the factory to the fish farms and is responsible for the routing and scheduling of the ships. In addition, the company has to ensure that the feed at the production factory as well as at the fish farms is within the inventory limits. A mathematical model of the problem is presented, and this model is reformulated to improve the efficiency of the branch-and-bound algorithm and tightened with valid inequalities. To derive good solutions quickly, several practical aspects of the problem are utilized and two matheuristics developed. Computational results are reported for instances based on the real problem of the salmon farmer.

Abstract. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is becoming a more crucial source of energy due to its increased price competitiveness and environmental friendliness. We consider an inventory routing problem for inland distribution of LNG from storage facilities to filling stations. Here, an actor is responsible for the inventory management at the storage facilities and filling stations, as well as the routing and scheduling of a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles. A characteristic of the problem is that a constant rate of LNG evaporates each day at the storage facilities and filling stations. This is in contrast to maritime LNG inventory routing problems where the evaporation is considered at the ships only. The combined LNG routing and deteriorating inventory management problem is modelled with both an arc-flow and a path-flow formulation. Both models are tested and compared on instances motivated from a real-world problem.

“…There are a few examples in the literature for maritime inventory routing problems, though mostly in the industrial and tramp shipping (see for example [1,6,9,11,[14][15][16][17]). These literature suggest substantial financial savings by combining ship routing and scheduling planning with inventory management in industrial and tramp shipping.…”

Abstract. This paper addresses the fleet deployment problem and particularly the treatment of inventory in the maritime case. A new model based on time-continuous formulation for the combined maritime fleet deployment and inventory management problem in Roll-on Roll-off shipping is presented. Tests based on realistic data from the Ro-Ro business show that the model yields good solutions to the combined problem within reasonable time.
